The business problem is to support the U.S. President, the Secretary of Defense, and combatant commanders at strategic, regional, and operational levels by providing a key operational platform for missile defense operations, monitoring battle progress, and controlling networked sensors and weapon systems.
Requirements
- Analysis and performance characterization of large-scale, complex system simulations, particularly in the realm of ballistic missile defense, weapon systems, and command and control systems
- Smoothed work processes with tools such as MATLAB for handling large data arrays and system logic validation
- Proficiency in Unix/Linux environments and workflows aligned with Agile Scrum methodologies
- An understanding of missile defense elements, to include systems such as C2BMC, AN/TPY-2, LRDR, BOA, SBIRS, GMB, Aegis BMD, PATRIOT, or related concepts
- Strong background in mathematics and physics to support algorithm development and real-world data interpretation
- Theoretical or practical knowledge of ballistic missile and non-ballistic missile defense concepts, space domain awareness, and broader Missile Defense System (MDS) operations
- Experience with scenario generation, predictive modeling, or advanced simulation techniques for defense systems engineering
Responsibilities
- Conduct technical analysis of real-world data related to Missile Defense and Space Domain Awareness
- Develop, implement, and refine complex algorithms to analyze large-scale simulation and real-world data sets
- Work cohesively within an Agile Scrum team to design and complete tasks tied to program objectives
- Proactively interpret data to support features, designs, and estimated future states of ballistic missile threats or systems
- Actively update and improve existing operational algorithms based on emerging or new datasets
- Utilize knowledge of defense systems to develop insights into missile defense concepts and Battle Management/Command and Control (BM/C2) protocols
- Coordinate with stakeholders and represent the organization during customer engagements, providing technical expertise and insights when required
Other
- Active DoD Top Secret Clearance is required at the start of employment
